Operating and Optimizing Apache Iceberg

Data lakes promised cheap, flexible storage at scale, but they left engineers fighting broken queries, painful schema changes, and no reliable way to update data. Apache Iceberg fixes that by bringing database-grade reliability to the data lake. In this course, you'll build production-ready Iceberg lakehouses from the ground up: model and partition data for fast queries, migrate existing tables without downtime, evolve schemas and partitions safely with Git-like workflows, and keep everything performant through compaction, snapshot management, and smart write strategies. By the end, you'll be ready to design and operate a modern lakehouse with confidence.
